Pratt Center Register: "a gentle
man representing a Kansas City retail
house was here several days this week,
soliciting orders. The articles he was
selling can be bought at several stores
in this town at twenty Per cent. less
than the price he was asking. Don't
buy your merchandise of these travel
ing men. They do nothing to build up
your town. They pay no taxes, no
rents, and do all in their power 10
build up foreign institutions at the ex-
pense of your own town. Trade at
home, keep your money at home, build
up home interests, encourage home
dealers, and if they haven't got what
you want, let them order it for you and
make the profit"
